Re: UnOFFICAL Contest fish: T-Aqua Respect Cobalt (Old German) Fry
The parents look like very nice fish. I like the black halo they have. I 've always been quite partial to German fish.
Good luck with the fry Warlock. They will keep you busy!!!!

Unofficial? Don't just stick your finger in the tank Skip, dive in. Unless of course you're like me and know for sure you'd manage to miss 3 posting in the next year.

Re: UnOFFICAL Contest fish: T-Aqua Respect Cobalt (Old German) Fry
Skip, how many fry did you end up with?
-
Re: UnOFFICAL Contest fish: T-Aqua Respect Cobalt (Old German) Fry
Awww but Skip!!! So many adventures ahead but those guys are almost big enough you can get away without doing brine shrimp, it would be a stretch and I keep feeding BBS for quite some time but if they are already quarter size almost thats a pretty good start. Best of luck to you Skip, Im sure you'll get those guys big and beefy quick :). We can all learn the KISS method in detail ;)

Re: UnOFFICAL Contest fish: T-Aqua Respect Cobalt (Old German) Fry

Pat, he told me over sixty. I gave him the whole clutch after losing count while bagging. I found three stragglers today.

Re: UnOFFICAL Contest fish: T-Aqua Respect Cobalt (Old German) Fry
Aug. 8th..
two 50% water changes..
feed live brine shrimp for first time.. they took to it with gusto..
some seem to more hungry/actively pursuing food.. others not so much..
thinking the tank might be too big for them.. might put them in a 10g for couple of weeks..
in addition to crush PRO GROW BH FLAKE, thanks to bill
and the CYCLOPEEZE frozen bar :)

Re: ~ Week 1: Arrival ~ UnOFFICAL Contest fish: T-Aqua Respect Cobalt (Old German) Fr
Way to go Skip! I'm quite thoroughly jealous now yanno and if you're not careful I just might drive myself down to Texas and pay those little guys a midnight visit. (one cooler, one heater, one small fish net and they're MINE!)
Good luck with the contest and these cute little guys. =)
